W.P. 1991?-2011
Three of us went to the vet clinic tonight. Two of us came home, leaving a large piece of our hearts behind.
Sometimes doing the right thing hurts like hell.

It’s dead, Jim.
Sorry, Shay. I wish you were right about my little mum, but even the roots are brittle on it. No even Dr. McCoy could work a miracle on this one. I’m leaving it in my office to stare accusingly at me – it seems that I owe it some sort of opportunity for revenge. I’ll…

Check-up at big city hospital today. öööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö sigh I’ll get back to that in a moment. I was just now interrupted, and figured I ought to tell the story while it’s fresh in my mind. I’m sitting here at my desk, surrounded by cats who think it’s dinnertime. It is not dinnertime. It won’t be…
Like an Oak on the Wire
One of the few pictures I took that includes any portion of it. This was last February, during the snow storm that dumped over eighteen inches on my area. Picturesque it was not, though I suspect by the set of its trunk it had been a fine sapling. It didnât fork, it didnât kink, and…
Oh, I don’t think so.
I just checked my email. This was waiting for me: From: [email protected] To: ****@%%%%.### Subject: Thank you for your online registration!

Antigone: On the Evils of Prednisone
Actually, on the evils of corticosteroids. My first encounter with steroids was post surgical, last summer. The second was just these past four weeks or so. They have a deserved reputation for affecting mood, and for appetite enhancement. The mood swings for me are the worst. I have been nearly suicidal, I’ve been manic, I’ve…
Bye-Bye Ducky, Bye-Bye
The paracentesis went fairly straightforward yesterday. We only got around 3.1 liters this time; I can thank the new diuretic from preventing me from packing on too much water. I saw the nutritionist, who wants me to start increasing protein intake again. *sigh* First it’s eat a lot of protein, then eat sparingly, now eat…
Oh yes it does â¦
hurt like hell.
I’m so sorry.
Oh no, poor WP. And poor Salamander and Prof. Thinking of you all 🙁

I’m so sorry. She’ll leave a huge gap.
WP had such presence that I feel as if I knew her, even though I never had the privilege of being subjected to her steely gaze.
Please pass on my condolences to the Professor, the one member of your family whom I’ve been lucky enough to meet in person.
Oh, I’m so, so sorry. My condolences to you and especially to the Professor, as he was her human "slave." I’m sure she will be sorely missed. Please give him a hug for me.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Condolences and ((hugs)) to you both. You guys gave her a wonderful life, I know.
I’m so sorry.
We are so sorry! She was some cat. You must feel such a void. Twenty years is a long time. She obviously had the best of slaves. Hubby says, "Tell her I’m sorry to hear it, and I can sympathize with the loss of their pet very deeply."
I think I just saw him wiping his eyes.
I’m so sorry but you’ve given her the best gift by letting her go before she really suffered. Were I a cat you’d be my choice in a human.
So sorry for you and the prof. one of the hardest thing you can have to do.
So sorry….
